Amy Kelly, CFP®, CDFA®

INTRODUCTION/GENERAL COMMENTS/PERSONAL GOALS FOR INVOLVEMENT IN COLLABORATIVE FAMILY LAW CASES:

I believe the collaborative divorce process provides an environment for all parties to be as comfortable as possible, with open lines of communication and full disclosure of information for the purpose of efficiently reaching agreements and terminating a marriage. Incorporating the financial neutral in the process is instrumental for the individuals to make informed financial decisions and to begin the next phase of their lives with a solid understanding of their finances. I have almost 20 years of experience advising clients to help them achieve their financial goals.
